The "BlazBlue" Thread

[Acid]

Spiritual sucessor to Guilty Gear, developed/published by ARC system works/Sammy.

Video here

I still remember one of the first trailers, in which sound effects were simply copypasted from GG
Anyway, I'd love to play that. *crosses fingers for a PC port*
At least I'll get the soundtrack when it comes.

If anything in BlazBlue resembles GG then it's MOST likely on purpose. And yes, the soundtrack will be great.

[Karai]

Well, whole game looks like GG, even few characters and their attacks are similar (of course I don't mind that!). But when it comes to SE, in this trailer they're new. Sure, it's hard to create completely original sounds for punches and other stuff, but this time they're not the very same sounds from GG.
Oh, are there any news on that soundtrack's release date?

Haven't heard any news yet. Gotta be patient.

I want it even more. If not now, then when I'll be retired, and I'll have time and money for all those games.

[Acid]

Haku-Men looks pretty cool.  Despite being a mix of Justice and Sephiroth.

[Karai]

I like that girl in a mecha suit. She's so calm, and that robotic voice saying instructions, but when she's hit really hard she asks to stop. Yeah, I really like her.
Also, it seems that I share my Birthday with Rachel Alucard. All characters' Birthdays are silly

[Acid]

My birthday's with Carl Clover. And also with May from Guilty Gear.

Nice music.

Got the soundtrack today (Thanks for telling me Sub).

It's great, I suggest you get it too.

[Karai]

As expected, it's fantastic. Makes me want to play GG again
Maybe I'll try to switch the music to this one.

The system question has been answered:
BB gets a summer release and will be available for Xbox360 and PS3.

The game will support online play; as well as provide downloadable content

[HokutoNoBen]

You forgot one other awesome aspect...

Like some previous releases of Guilty Gear X and XX, this game will also have a "Story Mode" for each character, complete with multiple branching routes, full voice-overs and even containing anime scenes produced by the animation studio, GONZO.

Sounds on point, no? This summer will definitely be packed for a FGer like myself... 

[Acid]

Summer release is US only. However, since the PS3 is supposed to be region-free...

Nah, this week's Famitsu ish also stated that the JP release of BB is supposed to be this summer.

So, chances are, either the two versions of the game (JP/EN) are going to be released practically in tandem, or maybe just a few scant weeks/months apart.

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

Wow...SF4, KoFXII, Blazblue, and GGXX Accent Core Plus, all in one year.   

[Solar]

Or, if you're a gamer like me, only GGXXAC+

And we still need to play on 2DF sometime Cosake. Same goes to you Ben when I can get a decent stick and converter >.>

[The Drunken Dishwasher]

OH YEEAH, totally forgot about that!

[Acid]

Gonna play these two.

[RMX]

Those are some high-res sprites there

[Acid]

Either 1.5 or 2.5 times bigger than Guilty Gear. I forgot.

Here are some more here (warning, in Japanese):

V-13 (or rather pronounced "Nu-13") looks to be a character right up my alley, but I'll definitely be willing to give all of the characters their fair share.

[Protoman Blues]

Hey, this is coming to the US as well.
